Missing Person: Please help

Paris Police are asking for your help in locating a missing person, Paris Police Chief Bob Hundley said on Saturday.

Russell Gage Kennedy

Russell Gage Kennedy, male, white, 18 years of age, 5’3 120 lbs, brown hair and green eyes, was last seen on Thursday night around 10:30 PM. The clothing description includes an unknown color of shirt and blue jeans.

Officers were called to a school counselor’s office regarding Mr. Kennedy. A friend of his was concerned due to a text she had received and him not being in school Friday morning, according to authorities.

“There had been no report of a missing person at this time from family members,” Chief Hundley said.

Officers went to Kennedy’s residence and made contact with his mother, who let officers know that her son had left the residence around 10:30 p.m. to walk to a local restaurant where he worked to check his schedule. She told police that he had not returned home.

“Officers searched the immediate area, along with the route he might have taken to the restaurant, and did not find the man,” Hundley said.

Anyone who has seen Mr. Kennedy or those that may have information regarding his location are asked to contact the police department at 903-784-6688.
